- Med Paper SA is a Morocco-based industrial paper manufacturing and converting company engaged in the production, processing, and distribution of paper, cardboard, stationery, and specialized packaging solutions for educational, commercial, and industrial markets. Founded in 1948 as Papelera de Tetuan and headquartered in Tangier, Morocco, the company operates an integrated manufacturing and converting facility in the Moghogha industrial zone spanning more than 24,000 square meters. Med Paper serves domestic and regional markets across North and West Africa through three primary operational segments: School and Office Stationery, Packaging and Technical Paper, and Paper Converting Services. The company's core product portfolio comprises school and office supplies, including stapled and spiral-bound notebooks, loose-leaf filler paper, foolscap paper, drawing pads, accounting registers, notepads, and file folders; packaging and industrial papers, including bleached and unbleached kraft papers, testliner, fluting paper, manilla paper, food-grade sulfite wrapping papers, citrus fruit wrapping papers, and specialized industrial interleaving papers for textile and manufacturing sectors; postal and mailing products, including standard kraft envelopes, bleached kraft envelopes, and commercial mailers; and converted commercial paper products delivered in large reels, rolls, and cut-size reams for commercial printers, publishing houses, and packaging converters. In recent operational and corporate developments, Med Paper has executed extensive balance sheet restructurings, including debt-to-equity conversions to optimize its capital base and strengthen working capital liquidity. The company has advanced a strategic transition toward sustainable manufacturing and circular economy practices, increasing its utilization of 100 percent recycled fiber through local waste-paper collection partnerships and collaborating with international development institutions such as the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) to improve resource and energy efficiency. Operationally, Med Paper continues to upgrade its Tangier production lines to reduce reliance on imported raw materials, diversify beyond traditional scholastic notebook segments, and expand its packaging distribution footprint across regional export markets.
